It can be argued that one of the main reasons why people love MMORPG based games is because it allows you to create an alter ego. While many like to create avatar completely different from thier real life persona, a large portion of the population still try to mimic avatar to its real life version…albeit, a bit thinner, more muscular, taller and with more hair. Generally a slightly better looking version of the real thing.

In a game like World of Warcraft, the typical pattern is the same: you create a character, customize the race, class, physical attributes, basic gear and then it’s off to hours of grinding mobs in lowbie zones until you can get upgraded gear that affects not just how your avatar performs, but also how it looks to the rest of the world. I can’t deny that that games like WoW have tremendous amount of item customization. But I think it lacks one key customization ingredient that would allow us to truly “bond” with our avatar: the face. Aion is great for that.
Lets face it (no pun intended), our God given mug is the most important thing to us on (think aion gold if you want to make an effort) . Look at any group picture that you are in. What is the first thing that you do? You look for yourself. (Its the same with our names: pick up a new pen, chances are that the first thing you script to test it is your name)

Aion online is a AAA mmorpg that recently went free to play and has a strong emphasis on PvP with some PvE content thrown into the mix. The game is separated into two areas located on separate sides of a shattered planet. One area belongs to the Asmodians which have a furry mane,claws and glowing red eyes as adaptations to their environment.

Today the MMO segment is flooded with dozens of selections to choose from (Wow, Aion, gw2...). Ranging from different genre, subscription types, art style, game play… the list goes on and on. Chances are what ever you may be looking for; whether it is ultimate character customization, fantastic riveting lore, or epic PvP battles, there exist a game to quench that thirst.
But is Aion your ‘drink’? I’ll give you ten reasons why it could be !
1. Eye candy galore: Aion does not disappoint the demanding visual fiends like me! It is no secret that for many, this will be at the top of their criterion on choosing a game. Excuse my metaphor ladies; gentlemen, I am sure you will agree with me that most guys will still settle for the stereotypical ‘hot blond’ even if they happen to be an ‘air head’. I will admit that I played MMOs that really weren’t that fun; but visually they were so appealing, I just had to come back for more as shallow as it may sound. Lineage 2 is guilty of this. When the game initially came out, it was by far one of the most if not the most gorgeous MMO in the market. Unfortunately it was notorious for the worse grind to hit the western shore. At times I wondered why I was grinding the same mob for the 10 000th times just to gain 10 more percent towards my next level; what was the fun in that? I quickly found the answer to my question when the cast sequence animation of my female Elf played once again…
Aion gold is built on the CryEngine. The developers did a fantastic job on brining the world to life with fantastic animation, imaginative environment and some of the best visual effects seen in any game. Don’t just take my word for it; check out this video! (Make sure to watch it in High Def.)
